Create beautiful sortable and stackable galeries from your WordPress posts and media items. If you’d like to take a look at the plugin in action I suggest taking a look at the <a href="http://pilegallery.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Pile Gallery home page</a>.
Pile Gallery can use any categories, tags or any custom taxonomy and create stacked galleries from your posts based on them. It will take the featured image of each post in a category and put them in a pile. The pile can be clicked to be expanded with a nice animation. The resulting images can then be clicked to go to the post or image.
A number of things can be customized on the back and the front end to make Pile Gallery more awesome. I am working on adding more andmore features, so if you need something, let me know 🙂
<ul>
<li>Gallery source</li>
<li>Animation delay</li>
<li>Random rotation</li>
<li>Columns</li>
<li>Gutter</li>
</ul>
Pile Gallery should also work on all your devices like tablets and phones. It is completely responsive, going into a one-column layout on smaller screens
I’d like to say a special thank you to Pedro Botelho for his <a href="http://tympanus.net/codrops/2012/11/21/adaptive-thumbnail-pile-effect-with-automatic-grouping/" rel="nofollow ugc">Codrops Post</a> upon which we based the Javascript functionality of the plugin. Take a look at <a href="http://tympanus.net/codrops/author/pbotelho/" rel="nofollow ugc">his work</a>, it’s awesome!

Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes – NextGEN Gallery


We recently had a plugin conflict with Rank Math, but we were able to get a prompt response from support letting us know that our issue has been identified and will be fixed in the following update.


Support is responsive


Great plugin, except for one part.The "Manage Album" page gets really slow with many albums. We have 612 albums and 2491 galleries. And it takes a few minutes to load.But luckily the functions are quite accessible within our own plugin, therefore we don't use the official backend anymore. 



The support is helpful and fast.


Great plugin and easy to customize

The most popular gallery plugin that lets you create galleries and albums in seconds.
